• Led the Purchasing department and determined the Optimal order quantity and Re-Order point using Stochastic Inventory models, preventing stock-outs• Simulated operations of the virtual organization for a period of 1 year, resulting in a maximized profit of $16,000• Implemented a Long-Term Supply Chain Strategy to standardize the procurement process

• Implemented Lean Six Sigma tools to fully establish the Lapping Cell leading to a cost savings of $200,000 per year• Spearheaded the project to identify the primary cause of compressor returns being misplaced in the Core-Sorting section using Root Cause Analysis• Identified the Top 5 failure modes from a 5-Year Period Warranty Data using a Pareto Chart and various Data Analysis techniques• Develop and maintain PPAP documentation, including PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flow Documentation, First Article Inspection, APQP updates and MSA documents (measurement plans, gauge R and R)• Lead Investigations & implemented corrective actions for the Lapping Cell for failure modes using 8D and 5Y• Responsible for creating and maintaining Standardized Operating Procedure (SOP) for the new Lapping Process• Designed and Developed a Universal fixture to house different models of Valve Plates, Cooling Plates and Cylinder Heads onto the CMM machine for GD&T measurement.• Incorporated Poka-Yoke methods in Fixture Design to be used during the Final assembly of the compressor

• Developed a Value Stream Map (VSM) and A3 reports for the distribution facility and executed lean techniques to reduce inventory and production lead time by 97%• Used Lean methodologies to reduce the Inventory held in the staging area from 51 bins to a maximum of 22 bins• Created a Flow-Cell to combine 2 Processes (Sort and Dump) and changed the existing PUSH System to a FIFO system

• Implemented a material change to replace the use of Natural rubber with Silicone rubber improving efficiency by 12%• Executed Time & Motion Studies in the Hydro Forming Process to determine and eliminate the non-value adding activities (Muda), thereby establishing a standard production time • Lead Kaizen activities and executed mistake-proofing methods to reduce operator error in bellow manufacturing• Leveraged Statistical process control (SPC) tools to improve production yield and reduce re-work
